So I was commenting about Im2lucky, not about my husband.
He recently was inpatient twice and then had a medication change. Yes he’s been on meds all along. The last three-four years. He just finished IOP and continues with individual counseling and psychiatrist/labs..

Ah alright.
What's the psychiatrist's opinion, do the meds work for the mania enough?
I agree with those that are saying that your first priority needs to be your kids. Kids #1. Husband is only #2.
It's totally possible to do a temporary separation without doing more harm, get help for how to execute it.
It would have the advantages of:
- Keeping your kids safe.
- Less stress/less damage to yourself now and long term.
- Less stress/less damage to your husband long term.
